"Last week, the Taliban murdered a comedian," Maher said,

He may be right but he committed the fallacy of relative privation.

True, but overall Maher made a lot of excellent points. I have no problem seeing enemies of the Constitution, foreign or domestic, neutralized to the point of being a greasy spot. His point about people, Left or Right, who continually shit on our own country without the context of the real world is balls on dead accurate.

Sure, we have problems and we need to fix those problems, but let’s keep it in context. Most of the people on this forum are effectively screaming how unfair it is that they don’t have designer shoes in a world of shoeless and footless people. Another reason to bring back the draft, no deferments, for all 18 year olds.

Sure, let the pussies and Christians dig wells in a Third World Shithole for the Peace Corps if they don’t want to join the terrorist hunt or risk getting shot.

Yes it is a fallacy. But you're correct. Keep it in context.
 
I always liked Bill Maher even though I don’t always agree with him. In the two quotes you posted, he’s spot on.
a few of us (ALTHEA/BAC/LIFE IS GOLDEN /me) go all the way back to his mesageboards when he was on HBO -
20 years now.

I'm fine with liberals, it's the Progressives that hate the USA. Unfortunately biden has thrown in with them

I was on message boards in the 90s when he was still on Comedy Central and then when he moved to ABC(?). All the bullshit he suffered there for his politically incorrect statement after 9/11 tainted him for awhile. Driving him further left, IMO.

The posts he quoted were more like the centered Libertarian he claimed to be instead of a Lefty in Libertarian clothing.

I used to watch his shows religiously (see what i did there?). I loved the episode where Jerry Falwell was on.

LOL religiously. Would I be wrong to assume you saw his movie Religulous?

I don’t recall the Falwell one but would love to watch it.
 
I don’t think you’re ‘realism’ is going to help Biden’s poll numbers.

Likely because there are still too many people in this country with common sense. Granted, their numbers are dwindling.

'Biden's poll numbers'. Is that what we are discussing here?

Nope you are not wrong. I was hoping you'd get the reference and you got it!

I don’t recall the Falwell one but would love to watch it.

I found this and I think this is it. Gosh the VHS tape is so worn out I suspect the person who owned it fapped so many times to it. I'll find a better video.

 
Jack, the past is the past and can not be predicted...it’s called history.

The future can be estimated, ie. if you withdraw the military first and civilians next...there will probably be a big problem.

Yes. Again, how did you know the Taliban weren't going to shoot the US Troops in the back as they left, and ... were going to permit/allow the US to evacuate our 'people'?
